need help with an interesting chart

[jwhigham]

Excel 2007 - I have a hard copy of a chart I need to recreate, but I don't
know how it was created. It looks like a normal data table, but the columns
all show a weighted bar along with the text. The bars represent the
percentage of each item compared to the total of that column. Anyone familiar
with this kind of chart?

Is it a 100% stacked column chart?

No. It looks more like this, but each cell has a bar next to the data that
varies in length depending on the number associated with it.
Number of Shipments Weight (tons)
Customer 1 11.209 66.224
Customer 2 23.281 67.584
Customer 3 3.214 11.479

Excel 2007 has a conditional formatting feature called Data Bars, which
draws bars in the cells. Look on the ribbon or in the help files for
'Data Bars'.
